Why a Project? A Strong Business Case

option.
 How? Roadmap.
 Communicate, communicate,
communicate.
 Feeds the change management
strategy.
Line of Accountability: Who Is In Charge?

 Hire people with the right balance between know-how and soft skills.
 Take the time to onboard your team mates.
 Self organized.
 PULL over PUSH
Remember: If you have all Maradonas in a soccer team, you will lose.

Contextualization: what is your project about?
 One project management. An infinity of projects.
 Adapt your artefacts, your vocabulary, your approach.
 The business context and the «why» should stain every aspect of your
project.
 Helps the change management.

Why Agile? For which projects?

The Agile Manifesto
Nov. 10, 2017 Copyright © Adsum Consulting Group 14
Agile: a different approach
Nov. 10, 2017 Copyright © Adsum Consulting Group 15
Reminders about Agility
 A delivery method, not a project
management methodology.
 Not every project are good candidate to
Agility.
 Proper culture is a prerequisite.
 Enforce self-organized teams and PULL
behavior
 Scrum, Kanban, XP … find the one you
need.
Nov. 10, 2017 Copyright © Adsum Consulting Group 16
Embrace this philosophy in every project, no matter the delivery method.
Key take aways
 Be 1, 2, 3: The more your project is simply organized, the less risk you will manage.
 Plan and manage risks: A good risk management and a proper planning (even in Agile!)
is your best investment.
 Adapt your plan and approach to the business context.
 Make sure people are accountable (PULL!).
 Be result oriented, no matter the means.
 Start your change management from the gate go.
 Agility: don’t forget the prerequisites!
 Be realistic: you’re not a magician :-(
